256. I feel so bad for richie. He has obviously made a huge mistake, and I do not excuse his poor judgement or behavior. That being said, Richie would NEVER intentionally put Ava in harms way. He loves his daughter. I am praying for you Richie, and I hope this was the wake up call you needed to get yourself some therapy.

257. Richie,
Hang in there, and Keep the Faith. Your a Good Person.

259. It's a shame that anyone does this, let alone someone of his notoriety. I am sure he thought he was fine to drive home as do most people who are drinking, but someone has to be accountable. He endangered his child and his girlfriend, who I can't help but wonder, was she sober? Someone has to have the courage to admit that they might not be capable of driving and ask for help, for a ride, call a cab, hell, walk.
I sure as hell can judge because I do NOT put any alcohol in my system and drive my car, NONE, NADDA, so yes, I can judge anyone and everyone who imbibes and gets behind the wheel. It's like carrying a loaded gun in your pocket. You don't mean for it to go off, but if it does, who's fault is it? "6. Ridiculous. He didn't hurt the kid. How gutless of you to sit behind your computer and judge, when you don't even know the facts yet. I'm sure Ritchie would rather die than hurt his baby.

260. I feel sorry for his kid. So far family life has been a real b*tch. First all the drama with the marriage and divorce, then her mom's ordeal with the suicide thoughts then the dad driving her around drunk. Wow...nothing like a solid Hollywood upbringing to raise a stable kid.

262. I am in no way defending what Richie did but a lot of people's comments on here are ridiculous. It's as if they're perfect. Maybe they would never drink and drive but I'm sure have made other stupid decisions sometime in their life that they wish they could take back, nobody's perfect! He just happens to be famous and every move he makes is plastered every where. If you were to do this maybe it would make it in your local paper and would soon be forgotten about by everyone because you are an unknown. People make mistakes, and even though this one could have turned out very tragic maybe this is what it'll take to fully wake Richie up and get ALL the help he needs to stay sober (if he was under the influence). It's not fair to judge someone when you haven't walked in their shoes and especially if you don't even know them...Get real people!

264. Thanks to the officers who get Sambora and others like him off the road . They don't get the appreciation they deserve for all the lives they save.

265. HAVE A NICE DAY.... We are talking about THIS SUBJECT Some of us do not drink and drive and we are proud of it. I dont care if he is famous or not I would say the same thing about anyone. Some of us have morals and values maybe you need to not live so free spirited and have an opinion about something so horrible.

266. deff not a smart thing to do hope he dont have his license for at least a few years
as much as i love richie i fully want him jaild and getting compulsory treatment for alcohol addiction

heather doesnt care i think she does but why wasnt the woman driving if she was sober and authorized to drive ava home

thats what i cant understand

i hope he sorts himself outt for everyones sake before he kills himself and or someone else

267. HAVE A NICE DAY.....I totally agree with you!! Although drinking and driving is totally unacceptable, EVERYONE has made mistakes. Those that are excessively defensive are probably making HUGE mistakes around their children on a daily basis. They are feeding their own wronged egos by coming here and judging others. Yes, drinking and driving is completely and totally wrong. It is a selfish, stupid decision. If Richie is guilty, I would be glad to watch the book be thrown at him. However, ALL of us do not know the specifics or all the FACTS. And for the love of God, this has NOTHING to do with his fling with Denise Richards! Stick to the topic.

268. The people who are putting down us good parents just need to try to justify their own alcohol abuse. LOSERS... LMFAO!!!

Proud to say I never put my child in danger.. too bad you cant say the same :)

269. Isn't there an age limit to the whole "LMAO" thing??? And nice touch with the "F" in it....now we know how you speak in your home....around your kid....

270. as a grown child of alcoholic parents, i feel for ava. as for the woman with richie, maybe she hasn't been around him long enough to know when is he is impaired? over time, long term drinkers or alcoholics, if you want to use that word, have ways of hiding their behavior so they do not appear impaired. i know, i rode with my father more than once without recognizing he was drunk. my mother too. and if this woman with richie knew he was too drunk to drive, she should've taken the keys or asked to call a cab or something but , as i was not there, i do not know if she realized he was that impaired. if nobody saw how much he drank, maybe she felt he was ok. sometimes people who drink think one or two drinks does not have an impact. and probably ava has not been around her dad too much when he is drunk so she wouldn't know. as for heather not going to get her child at the police station, i don't understand that, unless it was faster to let that woman drive ava home. i hope richie gets real help this time but if the person with the problem refuses to recognize it, all the rehab in the world is useless. it took years for my parents to get sober and i am proud to say, they have been sober for over 15 years now.
